Worn & Torn

By G.P. Avants From my first impression of Logan I observed a tired and weary world. Things have progressed since the last time we have seen Dr. Xavier, Wolverine and the world where humans and mutants co-habitate. Technology has progressed, but the mutants are all but extinct. Oddly, humans have become a distant colder species….

Kryptonite ain’t a ‘Small’ Issue

The Fast Track of Destiny

Rogue One: Man in a Machine

By G. P. Avants One of the major themes that George Lucas brought up in his Star Wars universe was two opposing forces who have to coexist in time and space. These two entities are polar opposites that are excepted by Jedi and Sith, Empire and Rebels, Humans and every other species alike….

Rogue One: Must We Fear the Man from Mustafar?

By G. P. Avants We all saw it coming. His unmistakable shadow was cast across the big screen. In the murky air of a volatile planet, Darth Vader loomed larger than life, though he was a harbinger of death. Rogue One took us to his castle on the fiery planet of Mustafa, where…

Rogue One: Walking Blind

By G.P. Avants In Rogue One we come to a dark chapter in galactic history. The Jedi are all but extinct, while the Empire breathes a sigh of relief. What is left behind, in their eyes, are blind fools clinging to an antiquated religion whose time has passed. They have even gone so…
